lol. That's cool; Just don't forget your Padres cap, and make sure not to let the door hit your 50 million dollar ass on your way out.

Sarcasm?

No lol. I'm being serious....really. I just can't imagine Alex saying something like that. He just seems too classy.

So, what you're implying is that a classy person would have lied instead?

QB development matters too. He had NoWin and Dingletary. The 2 worst QB developers of all time. Of course Harbaugh could do a lot more with him. Alex would be coached up instead of down. I wouldn't expect him to be spectacular. But he would be better for certain.
This week I have been without a schedule and it has been too cold and rainy outside for golf so I have spent a lot of hours here and on other football sites reading what experts and fans have to say about our QB situation. What I have found is that a lot of people who had been quite critical of Alex Smith in the past, have now taken a look at the alternatives and now believe that bringing him back is the best that can be hoped for now. That becomes even more realistic if Harbaugh is the new HC.

So while Smith may not prove to be a superhero, with the help of a known professional with a track record of developing QBs, he could turn out to be a more than adequate QB for this team.

I agree. I wouldn't mind him back under Harbaugh. He'd at least be a high end backup. And he could buy us time while we develop our rookie QB. A rookie is going to struggle. I think Alex will be a lot further ahead of that for at least next year. Carr and Troy Smith aren't the answer. Nate Davis can't read.

49ers failed him, hope he has a good career elsewhere.

That wouldn't sell. It would have to be a fully accepted, mutual agreement between the HC and Alex. I don't think either side would want to go the franchise tag route.
